What's the difference between exciter and transmitter?
Exciter
Definition:
(n.) One who, or that which, excites.

(19) We use this procedure to assess the excitability of the auditory nerve, the patency of the cochlea and to detect undesirable side effects of electrical stimulation, such as facial nerve activation.
(20) And that's exciting, you've got no time to slow it down.
Transmitter
Definition:
(n.) One who, or that which, transmits; specifically, that portion of a telegraphic or telephonic instrument by means of which a message is sent; -- opposed to receiver.
Example Sentences:
(1) gamma-Aminobutyric acid (GABA) and glutamate release from the treated side was higher than the control value during the first 2-3 h, a result indicating an important role of glial cells in the inactivation of released transmitter.
(2) In contrast, the effects of deltamethrin and cypermethrin promote transmitter release by a Na+ dependent process.
(3) Media made hyperosmotic with sucrose increase the frequency of spontaneously released quanta of transmitter, or miniature excitatory postsynaptic potentials (MEPSPs).
